Welcome to this Adobe After Effects tutorial where I’ll guide you through creating a dynamic financial news intro. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process:
Setting Up the Composition
- New Composition: Create a new composition named “Main Composition” with the appropriate dimensions, frame rate, and duration.
- Background and Noise Effects: Add solid layers for the background and noise using gradient ramp and fractal noise effects to set the scene.
Incorporating Images and Animations
- Image Import: Import the images of dollar bills and arrange them within the composition to create a financial backdrop.
- Animating Dollar Bills: Animate the position and rotation of the dollar bill images, creating a dynamic movement across the screen. Apply drop shadow effects to add depth and realism.
Adding Profile Image and Animation
- Profile Image: Utilize a profile image and use shapes like ellipses to create background shapes and matte layers to reveal the image.
- Animating Shapes: Apply keyframes to animate the scale and position of the shapes, creating an engaging reveal effect for the profile image.
Textual Elements and Animations
- Adding Text: Include text elements such as headings and net worth information. Apply effects like drop shadow for depth and dimension.
- Text Animations: Animate the text elements using effects like “Fade Up Characters” to create a compelling appearance.
Final Adjustments and Rendering
- Composition Refinement: Fine-tune the animation timing, shadows, and other visual elements to ensure a polished and professional look.
